Biography
Cliff Brumby was born in Gateshead, England in 1931, and he became involved with organized crime due to his working-class upbringing. He became a powerful gangster, and he also came to own controlling interests in local seaside amusement arcades, as well as a luxurious mansion.

Plot and downfall
Brumby became rivals with Newcastle Mob boss Cyril Kinnear due to their conflicting interests, so he decided to incite gangster Jack Carter's brother Frank into calling the police on Kinnear by showing him a pornographic film made by Frank's daughter Doreen and Newcastle Mob associates Albert Swift and Eric Paice. Frank's intent to talk to the police led to the Newcastle Mob murdering him, which, in turn, provoked Jack to conduct and inquiry into his brother's death. Brumby told Jack Carter that Kinnear was responsible for the murder of Frank, but also that he did not know the reason for the murder.

Jack Carter later discovered the porn film and confronted participant Glenda about it, coming to believe that Eric had "pulled" Doreen. He then confronted Swift, who revealed that he had told Brumby that Doreen was Frank's daughter, and that Brumby had manipulated Frank the entire time. Carter confronted Brumby at the Trinity Square multi-storey car park in Gateshead, and he beat him up before throwing him off the roof to his death.
